I'd suggest using $r->subprocess_env() instead.
We have a somewhat similar situation where we have a PerlTransHandler
that sets certain environment variables that CGI scripts depend on
(yes, plain mod_cgi while we have mod_perl -- but that's another story).
I guess %ENV will work in many situations, but it might bite you later
when you can't figure out why a particular env variable isn't getting set
in certain situations (speaking from experience).
See the explanation on pages 454-455 in the Eagle book.
